Timo has dealt less haidly with Var- ick aud Hudson streets than with any other part of New York, b.irring the lanes and twisting thoroughfares ol Oreenwich village. Tho elevat<;d rail- toad and the inarch of progress have both passed them by, and the real estate agent and the builder aud contractor havo not yet laid plans to Hau.ssiuanu- ize them out of existeuco or ont of all likeness to their quaiut old solves. This caunot bo for long, however, and al¬ ready tho uew order of things, huge business blocks aud crowded teuoments, is pushing np Hudson street from Cham- b«?r3 to Harrison at the one end and dowu it for a block or two, wliere it rnus into Kinth avenuo at Thirteenth street. But between Abingdon square and Vestry stree Hudson street retains Its characteristics almost unchanged Binco it was opened np, and a prowl about this part of its length will give one au excellent idea of how people liv¬ ed oud traded wheu tho century was jnst ablo to walk alone. This seems all the more astonishing locauso Hudson street is an unusually wido thorough- faro and furnishes direct communication between tho wholesale quarter of the south aud west and tho crowded living quarter of the middlo west.
Hudson street is no moro liko the New York of totlay than an English tavern is liko the New Netherlands ho¬ tel. In fact, there is a distinctly old world atmosphere about tho place, aud if sections of Hudson street were to be photographed and labeled "Street Scene In Bristol" or "In Exeter" or "In Dun¬ dee" thero il uo ono that would dis¬ pute tho legend. So, too, it would be out of all keeping tocall the stores any¬ thing elso th.'m shop<i. They aro ju.st plain, cozy, tucked up littlo old fash¬ ioned shops, where tho stock in trade and tho customers aro so crowded to¬ gether that two or threo people will crowd the place, fiiid whero you can sit at tho short scrap of counter aud liter- aHy put your hand ou just what yon want. There is no need tor a stcpladder in theso sh.ips. Tlio salespeoplo jnst roach np easily and take flown any¬ thing that is needed, while tho ceilings are so lovir that yon instinctively fee! liko ducking wheu yon opon the door, with its littlo j.ingling bell, and when, in fact, you can sweep tht- plaster with yonr outstretched liand. There is gener¬ ally, too, an nuuGticetl step down into tho shop at the junction of the doors, over which you plunge headlong in the dear old fashioned breakneck way. There is no need of clerks in theae stores. Tho proprietor and one assistant can look after all tho cnstomers that can bo acconimorlated at ono time, and sometimes all tho bnsine-ss is trans-ict- ed by a comlortablo aiid rotnnd old lady who rolls her way slowly down the floury lanes between tho piles of mill truck or coines up slowly ou a st.irboard tack and lies to beside the open tubs of salt mackerel and pnngent bloaters.
Somo of tho progressive shopkeepers and oue or two of tho younger people havo put plate glans into their windows, but most of tho places are still lighted with sa.shes filled with many sniall piines of glass. Nino and twelve lights to tho window aro quite common, and there is one weather wom placo on a cornor where each window has l.'i littlo panes of glas.s .ind where yon can stand on tho sidewalk and look iu throngh tbo top row, as was tho proper thing when New York thought that French plate for Americin light was as fooli.shly for¬ eign as French songs for au American audience. The.se aro tho windows that one sees in cuts whoro tho passersby are shown in scuttle bonnets and pelisses if they are ladies, and in bell topped hats aud strapix'd tronsers if they aro -jien.
Thero is a distinctly old time and old conntry character abont what is sold in tho shops .IS well as about the shops themselves. In tho bakers' shops, for in¬ stance, one sees tho old "mansion loaf," Scottish scones and English curr.int cake. Tho candy shops sell "sweet tnck" and "lollicops." The "tonsorial artist" calls himself squarely a "h.iir cntt-er," and the furniture man carries heavy mahogany tables, high marble topped bureaus and four post beds in Btock, not as secondhand goods, but a.s the proper thiug fw present use.
Hero oue may find tho real English chophouses and grillrooms, dull little places where you pick out your steak aud can if yon choose stand and see it broiled over an open firo of live coals built np in hnge brick ranges, ruid where the great brown ware teapots are kept hot ou tho hob, with Rebecca and the well l)oth glowing in tho firelight. In one place, too, is on old f.ishioned "dresser" on ¦which are ranged blue and white crockery, as thongh yon were taking yonr meals cheerily and without formality in the kitchen, which, by the way, is whero things alw.iys taste the best.
Between the boundaries Indicated there is not a tall, reeking and thronged tenement to be seen. Thero is a good deal of boarding and lodging, to be sure, but there i.s al.so a good deal of that rarity in Ncw Y'ork, home life—that is, the single family occupation of the whole honse. This is largely pos.eible down here because of the remarkable conservation of tho cozy liltle two story red brick honses which are so characteristio of tho period whon the quarter was laid out. Here and there on Bond and Delanooy and Thompson Btreeta these tiny Noah's ark houses are to be met with, bnt they are only the dingy and dirty indications of what they were—honse tramps, so to speak —while on Hudson street they are to be found by tho block, still as trim and neat nnd warmly red as when they wero put np.—New Y'ork Sua

The house has mnny attractive features, among these the stair hall, which also pro¬ duces an attractive exterior effect. The houso is entlrcij covered with shingles, and this, toRother with tho commodious plan and liberal verandas, helps to mnke it a yery picking and picturesque cottage.

Nature requires consideration, bnt she shows tho cljsorvnnt houso painter as sho shows any other arti.st how to get the best etTecta. The boautiful reds and yellows that predoininnte in tho changing hues of autumn foliage indicate the most artistic contrasts for green. Thc green vine climb¬ ing up the cliff or the green oasis in a sen of sand indicates the most pleasing color where there is no foliage.
Avoid ma.ssos of blue. Xaturc uses that color sparingly, except in tho sky, which Is a translucent blue that no color mixer can imitate.

The saw mill now owned by Allen Thomaa, on the Wissahickon, is about one-fourth ol a mile eastward of West Point For ten years past it has done a flourishing business in the manuf.iuturo of luml>er, the raw materiai for which haa been obtained from a circuit of sev¬ eral miles. It ia now the first raw mill on the stream, and we believe, the only one on ita whole course. Attached to the mill and dwellinf; tbere remains four¬ teen acres, a fragment of a former farm ten timea as iarge. The remaining tract is of iiregnlar shape, bordering ths brook and raceway, a portion under till¬ age. Tbe race course runs close to the West Point turnpike, drawinii the water from a dam eeveiai hundred yards to the northeast. The mill has beeu remod¬ elled, enlarged and much improved by the present owner.
It is not certainly known when a saw mill waa bnilt here, but it ia supposed to be as old as tbis century and that the first sawyer waa Heniy Danehower. Formerly the property included quite a plantation, comprising alKi the farms of Asher Webster, Georne W. Danehower, Joseph Boorse, and some lots.
In the beginning' of the white settle¬ ment of Gwynedi; this was the lower edge ofthe great grant of 2.8C(} acres as- siitned to VVilliam John abont 1701, who had the whole upper tliird of Gwynedd. He built the present Danehower farm house in 1714. His son Jolm and widow Jane feil hefr to his unsold land, amounting to 1400 acres, which were sooner or later sold to settlers in small tracts. It is not known when John Jones disposed of this portion of his in¬ heritance, but it was after 1728. In 1728 one David Uumming bought 141 acres, inciadini; this mill site. In 1762 (he first of the Danehowers made his appearance in Gwynedd in the person of Abraham Danehower, who bouglit the plantation of Gumming. He was the owner during the Revolution, and in 1817 his name is on the list of elders of tbe Old Yellow Lutheran church, Xorth Wales. His death occurred in 1789. In the foliow¬ ing year bis heirs, compriaing Abraham Danehower, Henry Danehower, John Danehower, Catharine, wife of Jacob .Schneider; Elizabeth, wife of Philip Hurst, and Sarah, wife of Philip Fetter- man, sold to their brother Henry. Hurst lived on a farm in the present borough uf North Wales, his house being on tbe site of Gold's hotel. He was born in 1760 and died in 1825.
Henrv Danehower had been born in 1763. For his 135 acres he paid £300. He built the saw mill at this point wbere there was ample fall to the stream. His life was txtended to 75 years, or lo July 12,1838. He had a son Henry S. and one named John. The former obtained hig father's homestead, which la now owned by George W. Danehower, former¬ ly an auctioneer. The other son Jobn, bcin in 1802, obtained the mill and tbe Webster farm in 1831. He had three daughters, of whom the two eldest were familiar with the sawyer's work, could roll ttie iugs and tend the mill right readily in their father's absence. Oue ot these danghters married Frank Baker, formerly of Lansdale. Tbe second mar¬ ried George W. Uail'nan and the young¬ est to James W. Bisbon.
Haliman obtained tbe saw mill pro¬ perty of his father-u-law iu 1864. This he soid to Henry S. Rosenberger in 186.5, together with the farm. Tbe latter was detached in 1806 by ita eale to Asher Webster. Tbe present owner, Allen Thomas, purchased ofthe late Jonathan Lukena in 187*J. His son, Lukens Tiiomas, is assistant in the mill, whilst another son is a well known citizen of Lansdale, Arthur K. Thomas, publisher ofthe Ambler GAZfrn-K.
John Danehower removed to Kulps¬ ville in 1864, where he died frora tne ef¬ fects of an accident April 28, 1870, at the age of sixty eight. Abraham, anotber brotber, remove^ to Montgomery town¬ ship in 1821, where be di^ at an ad¬ vanced age.
Abraham Danehower, tbe American ancestor of the family, was born in Ger¬ many, September 27,1725. He name to America between 1740 and 1750. He was buried at St. John'a church, Whit¬ pain, his death taking place May 0, 1789. Another of his sons, George, lies inthe same yard, his death taking place July 1st, 1793, in his 45th year. His son Ab¬ raham, Jr., bought a farm in I':^tern Gwynedd in 177;*, situated near the Beth¬ lehem road, a miie north of the Spring- houee. Thia contained eighty-three acres, oart of an original grant of 578 acrea from Penn to John Humphrey. Ihere he built a house the aame year, whicn is yet standing, bearing the date mark of 1779 and whicii is yet in the i oa- seseion of iiis descendants.—"E. M." in Lansdale Repnblican.

Wasui.noto.'j, Jan. 10.—Surgeon J. J. Kinyoun, of toe United States Marina Hospital Service, who wae a representa¬ tive of this Gover.nment at the rwent International Medical Oongrees id PariSr after which b« visited all the principal hospital and medical laboratories in France and Germany, making a thorough study of the anti-toxine treatment, delir-> ered an address before the medical fra- teruily of Washington iasti night in which he described tbe process of inoculatioo as follows:
A "culture" of the diptheria bacillus was taken from the throat ofa child and put into beef bouillon, in which it grew, and with some ofthis material a horse was inoculated. By a gradu.1l course of treatment the animal was innretl to the joison, its system giving off info the jiood sufficient of theanti-tcxineto nen- tralize the efTects of ali the diphtheritic poison that was given it. Then thia blood, or at least the serum, drawn off into sterilized tubes, was the "anti-tox¬ ine" ofthe new diphtheria IreatmenU Dr. Kinyo'jn said that while the serum would not work miracles, ita effecta were little short of marvelloua. In cases of plain,uncomplicated diphtheria,the effect of the anti-toxine was almost assured and the mortality nil. By far the great¬ er number of cases, however, were com¬ plicated, and iu those, where given in time, the mortality was reduced from 40 per cent, to less than 20 per cent.
Since the discovery of the diphtheria bacillus the absolute diagnosis of the di¬ sease by the microscope was possible, the germ being na distinctive as that of tuberculosia, Tbe speaker said tbat 93 per cent, of the cases of so-called mem¬ branous croup were real diphtheria. No one by a superficial examination can tell tbe two diaeaaes apart, except in the laat stages where the toxine of dinhtber- ia haa caused the dissolution cf tbe n)em- branes to take placebut forthesakeof tbe patient, of the immediate family and of the community every physician onght to resort at once to the microscope to aettle the question in auy suspicioas caae.
The efficiency of lbe serum treatment, the speaker aaid, had been satisfied be¬ yond question, and, with the aid of thia treatment t.- combat the diseasa und thorough disinfection afterward, there was no reason why the disease should not be stamped out entirely.
There waa no question tha^ the dis¬ covery ofthe anti-toxine treatment was on a par with that of small-pox vaccin¬ ation, but it mnst be scientifically hand¬ led by men wbo understand the nature of the disease and its remedy, and serum ofa standard strength must be used or the best results cannot be expected.
Dr. Kinyoun eaid he was in favor of Governmental or municipal control, ot at least supervision, of the manufacture ofthe anti-toxine to insure of ita being of a standard quality. The fact Ihat Germany was advancing the price ofthe preparation by a doiiar at a time, in spite of the email cost of production, was enough to show tbat tliere was a mint of money in it for .\mericans. A very short time would see many brands of the preparation on tbe market, and there ou^bt to be aome provision for maintaining them ofa uniform atrength and excellence.
Aa to the keeping of the serum, the Germans claim tbat it will keep indefini¬ tely. The French say that it deterfor- ates afler eight months, but Dr. Kinvoun thought that it began t.) cbange percept¬ ibly in much less time than that, so that the Government auperviaion should in¬ clude date of manufacture aa wel! aa strength.

A Woman's Advantage.
Woman, in spite of her disfranchise¬ ment, has at least ono great advantage over man. Sho can make a home—a real homelike home—for herself alone and tmaided, as no man can da A man may be erer so roh and ever so great a connoisseni in household fnmiahings and bric-a-brac, he may possess a man¬ sion and entertain widely, bnt when it comes to home any plain Utrie working woman who doesn't boaid oan etilipse him. In yonth the lile ol the yotmg man may seem so Independent and care free that the yotmg woman en-riea him his escape from household cares and worries, bnt later on the balanoi changes, and the brother, if he remains a bachelor, has reason to envy his siii- ter, whether she marries or not, as re¬ gards her power to create a home. It ill tinionbtedly harder for womeu to make' or earn money than for men, bnt afte^ the inoney is acquired she can make 1 go at least twice as fax in the mainte- nanoe ol a home, and a woman with a comiortable income can givo a habita tion moro grace and beanty and comfort aud geueral homelincs.s than a man can with a lortone.—Philadelphia Pteaa,
